On 31st October National Secretariat convened via Zoom. We were fortunate to have Revd Will Newman from Hong Kong & 2 reps from The Highveld in South Africa with us. It was very encouraging.
Unfortunately COVID-19 has changed our meeting habits but it has brought 
about new methods of communication.
We hope that more Dioceses may take part in National Secretariat Meetings (even after the Pandemic) by being with us “online” if they are not able to be present in person.
In fact National Cursillo of the future may meet once a year “in person” and the Executive might continue to meet from time to time throughout the year via Zoom.
This year’s meeting had a number of matters to discuss including:
- Protocols during COVID
- Cursillo’s possible participation with SOMA in helping to revitalise the Australian Anglican Church – watch this space
- The Commissioning of our new National Spiritual advisor Revd Jane Lamont & our new National Secretary Leanne Doyle
- The election of our new National Lay Director to take office at our Secretariat Meeting in September 2021 – Lewis Hitchick (from Bathurst Diocese)
- Discussion of Cursillo in COVID – how do we adapt?
Looking Forward to breaking out of the Covid Cocoon!!!
Blessings
Jim Warland
National Lay Director
